摘要
This paper resports the response of inoperable primary liver cancer to whole liver irradiation(WLI)by movingstrip technique(MST)during the period from 1980- 1988.The results showed that WLI by MST gave good response in this malignancy.The 5-year survival after treatment was 30.83% and median survival 25.8 months.The analysis of prognostic factors indicated that the higher the midplane tissue dose(mTD),the longer the survival(P<0.001),and that the survival of those patients tumor diameter was>8 to<13 cm and/or tumor volume>50% to <75% of liver volume was longer than that of there with tumor diameter of≥13 cm and/or tumor volume≥75% of the liver volume(P<0. 001 ).Traditional Chinese medicine is an indispensable therapy during the period of WLI by MST.Both clinical and experimental studies suggest that WLI by MST can enhance the therapeutic effect.
